BALLARINI PARMA by HENCKELS 2-pc Nonstick Pot and Pan Set, Made in Italy, Set includes 10-inch and 12-inch fry pan

We had been searching for a while for a cookwear set to replace our nonstick pans. These more then fit the bill. Excellent quality.

La mejor compra que he hecho en calidad/precio. Para empezar, estos sartenes los he visto en tiendas departamentales como Liverpool y Palacio de Hierro y cada uno en lo individual llegan a costar entre $1000 y cerca de los $2000 pesos mexicanos. Yo ya conocía la marca porque alguna vez los llegó a vender Wal Mart de Estados Unidos. Ahora me los reencontré en México y son lo mejor. Son super resistentes, tienen un indicador de calor cuando la temperatura está lista, no se les pega nada y son super fáciles de limpiar. Por ejemplo, me gusta cocinar mucho hot cakes y los preparo en estos sartenes. La mantequilla no se quema, los hot cakes tienen un cocimiento homogéneo.

Most likely caused by shipment. Impacted or pressed on. Any exchange allowed?

Awesome pans, a bit on the pricey side but worth it. I've used it to cook multiple things so far and nothing sticks!

These are BY FAR the best fry pans we've ever owned and used. PROS: First of all, they are truly non-stick. We've cooked a variety of items and nothing has stuck to the surfaces of these pans thus far. Usually, I can rinse 90% of the residue off before even taking a dishcloth to them. Secondly, they lie flat which means that eggs and similar items don't tend to run to the outside edges as they did on some of our other non-stick wear. Third, they distribute heat very evenly so items cook well regardless of their location on the surface. Finally, the temperature indicator on the handle is a nice touch too. CONS: As others had noted in their reviews, both pans arrived slightly deformed which suggests that the packing from the factory isn't as effective as it needs to be for handling. But applying two-handed pressure with both thumbs, I was gradually able to reshape them into a more acceptably round shape. Also, they tend to hold heat, which is good for cooking, but it also means that you need to allow more cooling time before washing them since the manufacturer warns that immersion while too warm might affect the granite finish. On occassion, this has slightly delayed cleanup, but it has not proven to be a big deal. And the nice little temp indicator gives a visible indication of when they are cool enough to wash.

I bought an 8 inch Bellerini pan as part of a silent auction package at a fund-raiser. I was impressed by the ease of cooking with it, showing superior non-stick qualities with all types of food. The flat, forged bottom works well on our glass cook-top to conduct heat quickly and efficiently. Plus, the coloured dot is helpful in regulating cooking temperature to avoid burning or over-cooking. Our white Lagostina pans were becoming increasingly problematic with food sticking and burning. So, I decided to replace them all with these three from Bellerini. So far, I am delighted, since they offer the same performance as the first pan. I hope they continue to work as well for many years as they have during these early days. I highly recommend these pans.
